Huey??

[themsthebreaks]

Ok, still looking for 'the' boys name for dc3 due in a few weeks. Thought we had it down to two but now not sure (not least thanks to reactions on here - all v helpful!). And today read 'Huey' in the paper (talking about the one from th Fun Lovin Criminals) and thought hmmm, maybe I really like that. Not keen on Hugh, but think it is 'gh'-ness that I don't like rather than the sound.

So, any views on Huey anyone?

Thanks!

I'd always want to ask where Dewey and Lewie were. It's a duckling name.

I'm not so keen on Huey myself but my DH loves it!

Oh bugger didn't think about those three duck things...

I call DP this, bit his given name is Hugo.

You could opt for the Welsh spelling Huw.

I thought of the ducks too.

Nice nickname for Hugh/Huw though.

Huey is the sound you make when throwing up!

Don't like it!

I've got one and use this as nn.

Nice nickname for Hugh.

Hugh is pretty bad, but Huey is just unforgiveable. Sounds like vomiting.

I quite like it, but I've just gone into full-blown Huey Lewis and the News mode, and am now humming 'If This Is It' and 'The Power of Love'.

Vomit noise. Sorry.

Almost any name can be made to sound like a vomiting or retching noise if you try, though ...

Sorry but its the phrase "bending over the toilet and calling for huey" that would put me off.

Hughie is not uncommon in Scotland, think that "Huey"is a bad spelling though,

Vomit sound

Will be called Poohey at school

I know a 4 year old Huey. It's a cool name!

I think of either ducks or throwing up.

It's Hughie - nickname for Hugh.

Lol I'm childish but I thought of pooey hughy, & if i think it & im all grown up I'm sure kids in the playground will - sorry!
How about Hugo and u can call him hughy at home until he's 3 :)

"Huey is the sound you make when throwing up!"

Sorry, but that is the first thing I thought of as well. OH used to say that someone would be "talking to Huey on the big white telephone"

I'm not keen on Hugh or Hughie either - Hughie Green anyone?

There's a Huey in DD1's year, Lovely boy!

Well, my first thought was of a helicopter: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Huey_family - which either marks me as a geek or old (or both). But at least that association is better than a bird or vomit.

I don't often look at baby_names (my DC are adults now), but I've read sufficient to know that it really isn't easy to choose a name.

I like it. I think Hugo is a lovely name IMO.
